Now That The Magic Has Gone - Joe Cocker

In my life I’ve seen sorrow, heartache and pain.

I’ve been burned by the sunshine

Been drowned in the pouring rain

Had too many lovers but not enough love.

I’ve been tried and convicted

Of things I’m not guilty of.

I was locked in a prison till you came and set me free.

So, how can you tell me, baby, that you’re no good for me?

Now that the magic has gone,

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say anyway

Now that the magic has gone,

There’s no sense in holding on.

Baby now, now that the magic has gone.

You know love can be tender, love can be cruel

It can smile like an angel while it treats you just like a fool

It captures and haunts you until you give in Then it stacks the dice against you in a game you never can win.

Just when I was thinking Lady Luck was here with me You tell me: «It's over baby».

Say: «It's time for breaking free».

Now that the magic has gone,

You just wanna walk away

Nothing left to say anyway

Now that the magic has gone,

You know there’s no sense in holding on.

Baby now, now that the magic has gone.

I won’t try to hold you down

My mind tells me to let go But my heart keeps asking how.

There’s no prizes for the loser,

Only the winner takes the purse.

Some say that love’s a blessing

But to me it’s just a curse.

Now that the magic has gone,

Oh baby, you just wanna walk away

Got nothing left to say anyway

Now that the magic has gone,

You know there’s no, no sense in holding on.

Baby now, now that the magic has gone.

Now that the magic has gone.

Now that the magic has gone
